Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 December 2025

Debate

AIDS

Contribution

That is such an important point. Noble Lords will have heard the announcement from my right honourable friend Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, this morning about opt-out testing, which addresses exactly the issue the noble Earl referred to. Internationally, this is a real problem. A lot of this goes hand in hand with the issue we have already discussed around stigmatisation. We will work with partner Governments and all agencies that we can to try to address this because, as the noble Earl said, not knowing can be deadly for yourself and others.
